We've been trying to push this show out for quite a while now. It's been a bit of a strain, and we got kind of backed up.

But, this hour, we let loose a long look at... constipation.

It should be a big relief for everyone involved.

This show is the 19th part of a new experiment: Radio for the Deaf. Watch a simulcast of signers from Source Interpreting interpreting our radio broadcast in American Sign Language on Facebook Live.

GUESTS:

  • Stefan Marianski - Education director at the Freud Museum London
  • Eric Metaxas - Author of Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World
  • Satish Rao - Director of the Digestive Health Clinical Research Center at Augusta University
  • Mary Roach - One of the world's leading popular science writers; her most recent book is Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War, and she's the author of Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Betsy Kaplan, Tucker Ives, and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
